The Exegetical Imagination: On Jewish Thought and Theology 823 edition
Michael Fishbane
Exegesis—interpretation and explanation of sacred texts—is the quintessence of rabbinic thought. Fishbane discusses the nature and rationale of this interpretative process in a series of studies on ancient Jewish speculative theology. Focusing on questions pondered in Midrash, he shows how religious ideas are generated or justified by exegesis.
